[Cthulhu]

ok i did the hijackthis stuff, and deleted those two things, and i scanned the computer with the updated Ewido and it found no infections =) everything looks to be good now! only one problem tho, before i posted my original HJT log i did all the stuff in that post saying to download all those programs and clean all the stuff out, i downloaded AVG but now it doesnt seem to function well. it wont update and i'm not sure if its active anymore either. other then that its all good!

[g2i2r4]

See if you can do this:

Run your AVG Free by double-clicking the AVG Free icon on your desktop
Click the Service menu and choose the Schedule update item
Here you can set the time of your AVG's regular daily update. Set it to a time today so you can check it, let me know if it will update.

[Cthulhu]

ok AVG is running properly now! wow, i must say this is the BEST website i have ever seen. My computer was running like [bleep] before i came here, slow, choppy, popups and viral infections to kingdom come. I am absolutely slapping this on my favourites, and telling all my friends. Thanks a Million for helping me!! and opening my eyes to how important it is to keep updated on these types of things. Thanks again!!

[g2i2r4]

Thanks for the compliment. I shared this with my collegues.


Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

• Use an AntiVirus Software - It is very important that your computer has an anti-virus software running on your machine. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future.
  
  See this link for a listing of some online & their stand-alone antivirus programs:
  
  Virus, Spyware, and Malware Protection and Removal Resources
  
  
• Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperitive that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.
  
  
• Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over. I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.
  
  For a tutorial on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones see the link below:
  
  Understanding and Using Firewalls
  
  
• Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.
  
  
• Install Spybot - Search and Destroy - Install and download Spybot - Search and Destroy with its TeaTimer option. This will provide realtime spyware & hijacker protection on your computer alongside your virus protection. You should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software.
  
  A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
  
  Using Spybot - Search & Destroy to remove Spyware, Malware, and Hijackers
  
  
• Install Ad-Aware - Install and download Ad-Aware. You should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software in conjunction with Spybot.
  
  A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
  
  Using Ad-aware to remove Spyware, Malware, & Hijackers from Your Computer
  
  
• Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will added a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs.
  
  A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
  
  Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware
  
  
• Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly. Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.

Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.

Glad I was able to help.
